LEETBUILDING

In addition to the three major races which make up theAlliance of Kurak; the Terran Alliance, the SorylianCollective and the Aquan Prime, numerous smaller

factions joined the Alliance to benefit from the mutual

protection it offered or for a chance to strike back at

hated enemies within the Zenian League. The most

powerful of these factions have contributed significant

numbers of ships to the war effort, either in fully formedfleets, or as auxiliaries within larger formations. Each

of these factions has their own motivations within the

Alliances cause, and their own unique vessels and tactics

that they bring to battle.

Although officially part of the Terran Alliance, the

ancient ship building firm Hawker Industries are

providing such a weight of military grade vessels to

the conflict as to be considered a faction in their own

right. Production rates across their extensive facilities

has increased dramatically as they churn out vessels

bound for the front line. As firm allies of both the Aquan

and Terran dominions, the Terquai colonies were quick

to offer their sturdy vessels and elite marines. Having

suffered numerous attrocities at the hands of the

perfidious Directorate, they are keen for revenge.

The brutal, war hungry Veydreth, or the Star

Dragons as they are often known, joined the Alliance

without hesitation, eager for the spoils they could

seize from the conflict. Fighting for their survival in a

merciless galaxy, the bird-like Xelocians and vengeful

Ryushi both pledged the might of their stellar navies.

With searing laser weapons and massed flights of close

range craft, both races have struck hard against theZenian forces rampaging through the Storm Zone.

Finally, the mysterious Tarakian Conclaves joined the

fight, determined to stabilise the galactic sector, through

force of arms if necessary.

Fleet Building

The models in this Fleet Manual can be used in two

different ways. They can be taken alongside models from

the Terran Alliance, Aquan Prime or Sorylian Collective

as part of an Alliance Fleet, or they can be fielded as adedicated Kurak Support Fleet which will only contain

models from within this Manual.

The rules for building Alliance Fleets so that these

models can be used alongside the Terran Alliance, Aquan

Prime or Sorylian Collective are given in their respective

Fleet Manuals. Using these, with the Statistics Profiles

presented here and the Fleet Building chapter of the

rulebook you will be able to create a versatile and highly

effective fighting force.

The following rules and Composition Tables apply to

Kurak Support Fleets.

Kurak Support Fleets

Unlike Alliance Fleets, Kurak Support Fleets do not contain

any models from the three major races, instead, they are

comprised entirely of models from within this Fleet Manual.

As you will see when looking through the following

Statistics Profiles, the models within this Manual are

grouped into different factions; Hawker Industries, the

Ryushi, the Tarakians, the Terquai, the Veydreth and theXelocians. To construct a Kurak Support Fleet, you first

need to select one of these to be your Core Faction.

Your Fleets minimum required Squadrons from each

Tier MUST be chosen from the models available to this

Faction, and your Fleet Admiral must be placed on a

Tier 1 model belonging to this Faction.

Apart from this, you may fill out the remainder of

your Fleet using the models available either to your

Core Faction, or the other factions within this Manual.

The Fleet follows the normal Fleet Building rules and

procedure as laid out in the Fleet Building section of

the rulebook, with the Composition Tables found on

the following page governing how many of each type of

Squadron can be fielded, and which Tiers they fall into.

As with the standard and Alliance Fleets, which

Composition Table you should use is determined by

the Maximum Fleet Value (MFV) you have agreed with

your opponent.

Allied Squadrons

Although a Kurak Support Fleet will often contain

Squadrons from several different factions, a single Squadron

can only contain models from ONE race or faction. Forexample, a Squadron could not be comprised of two Hawker

Industries Cruisers and a Veydreth Heavy Cruiser.

The exception to this is where a Statistics Profile

specifically lists models from another race or faction

amongst its accompaniments. For example, a Hawker

Industries Battleship can be accompanied by 0-3

Alliance of Kurak Escorts. These may come from any

race or faction within the Alliance of Kurak, including

the Terran Alliance, Aquan Prime or Sorylian Collective,

for the listed points cost. These are the only models from

these major races allowed within a Kurak Support Fleet.

Fleet Statistics and Tactical Ability Cards

Kurak Support Fleets may choose their Tactical Ability

Cards from the general or Alliance of Kurak lists.

Your Fleet Tactics Bonus is that of your Core Faction,

however each Squadron has the Command Distance of

its own Faction.

For example, a Kurak Support Fleet with Hawker

Industries as its Core Faction will have a Fleet Tactics

Bonus of 3 and the Hawker Industries Squadrons within

the Fleet will have a Command Distance of 6. However,

a Terquai Squadron joining the Fleet will keep the

Terquai Command Distance of 7.

Mighty Armadas

If the agreed MFV is in excess of 2000 Points the force is

divided into separate Fleets, each with its own Admiral,

TACs,etc. Each Fleet may also select a different Core Faction.

A force of between 2001 and 2800 Points is formed into one

Grand Fleet and one Patrol Fleet, while a force of between

2801 and 3200 Points is divided into one Grand Fleet and

one Battle Fleet and so on.

Provided the minimum requirements for each Fleet can

be met, you may divide your MFV between the Fleets as

you see fit. For example, a 2300 Point force could contain

a 1900 Point Grand Fleet and a 400 Point Patrol Fleet, or

a 1500 Point Grand Fleet and an 800 Point Patrol Fleet.

Important Note: This document is intended to

provide you with the various statistics needed to use

our spaceship models with the Firestorm Armada 2.0

rules. This Fleet Manual is what we refer to as a living

document, meaning that as new models are created their

statistics will be added and the document will expand.

Additionally, should any errata be found with printed

materials they will be reflected in this document. As

such, you should always use the statistics found in this

document as the default statistics when you are playing

Firestorm Armada. Please refer back to this download

on a regular basis to ensure that you are playing with the
